Nick Chaffe's colourful branding to celebrate 32 years of Manchester's Havas Lynx

When Manchester creative healthcare agency Havas Lynx wanted to mark its 32nd anniversary, it decided to host a bold and interactive exhibition to showcase some of its most memorable campaigns including its recent work for HIV, multiple sclerosis, skin cancer and organ donation.

Colourful book cover for the We Do exhibition featuring vibrant illustrations of office supplies, flowers and objects in red, pink, yellow and green against a blue background

Called We Do, the celebration was brought to life by local artist, typographer and designer Nick Chaffe who was commissioned to create a colourful brand illustration for the exhibition and an accompanying book. His illustrations used elements from Havas Lynx's advertising campaigns and included words from its agency manifesto.

For the show, Nick also collaborated with BAFTA-winning digital artist Dan Hett to produce a 3D installation, which used typographic and illustrative elements that lit up and reacted to sounds on the night.
